Japan has been struck by a devastating 7.6 magnitude earthquake on January 1st, leading to a significant death toll and widespread destruction. The earthquake, which occurred in Ishikawa Prefecture, has resulted in at least 161 deaths, with over 565 people seriously injured, making it the deadliest earthquake in the country since the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Prime Minister Kishida has been actively involved in the response, inspecting the damage, and doubling the search and rescue teams to 4,600 Self-Defense Forces members. Efforts to reach isolated areas, such as the northern Noto Peninsula, have been hampered by damaged roads, but sea routes have been established to deliver aid. Thousands of buildings, vehicles, and boats have been damaged or destroyed, and tens of thousands of homes have lost power. Rescue operations are being challenged by aftershocks, inclement weather, and the risk of secondary hazards. The Japanese government is mobilizing resources, with plans to use reserved funds for earthquake damages and potentially doubling the amount compared to past allocations.
